Watch: Abby Wambach receives standing ovation in final USA match

The U.S. women’s national team sent off retiring striker Abby Wambach on Wednesday night, honoring her decorated international career.

Wambach, the all-time leading international goal-scorer in women’s soccer history, would leave without a score in the U.S.’s friendly against China at the Superdome in New Orleans, but the team took a moment to acknowledge her exploits in an emotional pregame ceremony. Fans chanted Wambach’s name throughout, and she was subbed off for Christen Press in the 72nd minute to a standing ovation.

Donning the captain’s armband, Wambach bid farewell to the American fans.
